``(I) Within a permissible class, the tax rate imposed on
any taxpayer or tax rate group (as defined in paragraph (7)(J))

rate group explicitly defined by its relatively higher volume
or percentage of Medicaid taxable units.
``(II) Within a permissible class, the tax rate imposed on

Medicaid taxable units (as so defined) is higher than the tax

``(III) The tax excludes or imposes a lower tax rate on a
taxpayer or tax rate group (as so defined) based on or defined
by any description that results in the same effect as described
in subclause (I) or (II) for a taxpayer or tax rate group.
Characteristics that may indicate such type of exclusion
include the use of terminology to establish a tax rate group--
``(aa) based on payments or expenditures made under
the program under this title without mentioning the
term `Medicaid' (or any similar term) to accomplish the
same effect as described in subclause (I) or (II); or

under this title, as determined by the Secretary.
``(I) The term `non-Medicaid taxable unit' means a unit
that is being taxed within a health care related tax that is

may not approve an application for (or renewal or amendment of)
an experimental, pilot, or demonstration project undertaken
under subsection (a) to promote the objectives of title XIX in
a State (in this subsection referred to as a `Medicaid
demonstration project') unless the Chief Actuary for the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services certifies that such
project, or, in the case of a renewal, the duration of the
preceding waiver, is not expected to result in an increase in
the amount of Federal expenditures compared to the amount that
such expenditures would otherwise be in the absence of such
project. For purposes of this subsection, expenditures for the
coverage of populations and services that the State could have
otherwise provided through its Medicaid State plan or other
authority under title XIX, including expenditures that could be
made under such authority but for the provision of such
services at a different site of service than authorized under
such State plan or other authority, shall be considered
expenditures in the absence of such a project.
``(2) Treatment of savings.--In the event that expenditures
with respect to a State under a Medicaid demonstration project
are, during an approval period for such project, less than the
amount of such expenditures that would have otherwise been made
in the absence of such project, the Secretary shall specify the
methodology to be used with respect to the subsequent approval
period for such project for purposes of taking the difference
between such expenditures into account.''.
(b) Implementation Funding.--For the purposes of carrying out the
provisions of, and the amendments made by, this section, there are

appropriated, to the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare &

not apply to such individual on the
basis that such individual does not
meet the definition of applicable
individual under paragraph (9)(A); and
``(II) if such individual is enrolled under
the State plan (or a waiver of such plan) under
this title, continue to provide such individual
with medical assistance during such 30-
calendar-day period; and
``(iii) if no such satisfactory showing is
made and the individual is not a specified
excluded individual described in paragraph
(9)(A)(ii), deny such individual's application
for medical assistance under the State plan (or
waiver of such plan) or, as applicable,
disenroll such individual from the plan (or
waiver of such plan) not later than the end of
the month following the month in which such 30-

waiver).

certain other provisions.--

treated as not providing medical assistance to all
individuals described in section
1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII), or as not expending amounts
for all such individuals under the State plan (or
waiver of such plan), solely because such an individual
is determined ineligible for medical assistance under
the State plan (or waiver) on the basis of a failure to
meet the requirement to demonstrate community
engagement under paragraph (1).
``(B) Other provisions.--For purposes of section
36B(c)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, an
individual shall be deemed to be eligible for minimum
